Super resolution based n-view + n-depth multiview video coding

摘要

Present invention defines a super resolution based coding method for N-view and N-depth multiview video. A multiview video contains information of images from different views of a scene. Redundant information is shared by especially neighbouring frames of the image, which increases the bit rate of the video appreciably. The method proposed in the present invention offers an encoding phase in which all images of the different frames of view are down scaled (2) and encoded using N-view and N-depth video encoding (3). In the decoding phase, the encoded video is divided into different frames of views (4) and original resolution of a frame is reconstructed (6) using said redundant information kept in the neighbouring frames of said frame.
